Vending Machine Spell Circle

beholderface · Post by **beholderface** » Mon May 08, 2023 1:17 am

A spell circle designed for selling items to other people on servers. Requires Hexal and MoreIotas.
To purchase an item, drop the payment on the impetus, and activate it. If you have provided enough of the correct payment item (determined by comparing the item you dropped to an example item already in the nexus, NBT-sensitive) it will dispense the item(s) it is configured to sell. If you drop more than needed, you get your change back. After dispensing item(s), it checks if it has enough left for another transaction. If it does not, it replaces the lime concrete with red concrete, and any transactions attempted while the red concrete is there will be cancelled.
Consumes between 2 and 5 dust per transaction.
The indicator must be set back to green manually when restocking. The item frame atop the indicator is for keeping track of how many purchases have been made.
The format for the transaction information is a list, {{[Itemtype to be sold],[quantity to be sold]},{[Itemtype for payment],[payment quantity]}}.

This circle is selling 3 akashic records for 2 diamond blocks.

The code on the slates is as follows:

Code: Select all

Waystone Reflection
Vector Reflection -X (this, as well as all other -X reflections and hardcoded vectors in the main program, should be changed based on the orientation of the circle)
Gemini Decomposition
Additive Distillation
Additive Distillation
Consideration
(pattern key for the bookshelf holding the main program)
Akasha's Distillation
Hermes' Gambit

The visible purple block right next to the impetus in the image is the mote nexus, and the akashic record is directly below the bookshelves.

This hex has no built-in support for restocking items or withdrawing profits, you'll need to use something else for that. Perhaps my Pseudo-Corporea hex for withdrawing?
